They also have shell corporations in Nevada which people set-up to hide
illegal gains. Just search under "bearer bonds". They don't cross report to
the IRS.

Fortunately for us car folks, databases like Carfax can and do
cross-reference salvage titles with VIN's. Nice clean bogusly obtained Nevada
title with a tag in Carfax saying it's salvage. What did you gain?

Maybe the ability to defraud those who have never heard of things like Carfax.
